Rumor on the Internets: Michelle Obama Railed Against "Whitey" 

By Joe Kelley, Host of the KRMG Morning News

KRMG's Sean Hannity has joined the discussion about an Internet rumor involving the Obama family.

First, here's the rumor:

Rumor has itthat there is video of Michelle Obama "railing against 'whitey' at Jeremiah Wright's church."

If this is true, it could be lethal.  It's one thing to distance yourself from your pastor, but quite another thing to distance yourself from your spouse.

Might Rev. Wright be the one leaking the video?

Be warned:  Again -- this might be just be a rumor.  Or it might be big -- if it's true.  Stay tuned ...

Update:  I talked to Larry Johnson, the blogger who has this story.  I don't personally know Johnson, but his bio seems pretty credible.  He was once considered a "darling of the Left," but has become somewhat of a "bad guy" since turning against Obama.

He speculates the goal is to hold onto the video till August. 

At a minimum this rumor is out there.

Now, here's how Sean Hannity addressed the rumored video.

That certainly doesn't sound like a denial.

Yet, I am of the impression that if Hannity had the audio, he'd play it immediately.

Why?

Because if he has it and doesn't play it, someone else will.

There was once a time in which the media (TV, radio, newspaper) could keep a secret. But, with the proliferation of the Internet and blogging, the mainstream media know that if they don't move a story forward immediately, someone else will.
